SeaStar SSC6206 Quick Connect Rotary Steering Cable, 6 Feet, for Single-Station Boats
The SeaStar SSC6206 is a 6-foot Quick Connect rotary steering cable built for single-station boats using SeaStar Solutions' rotary steering system. It uses a simple rotary Quick Connect snap-in connection at the helm end for fast, straightforward installation without special tools. The cable's outer jacket is constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a material chosen for its abrasion resistance and high resistance to water penetration, protecting the core-to-conduit fit that delivers precise, consistent steering feel. The output end is made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long-term durability, and a trapped nut on the cable end stays in place during routing to simplify the install.
The SSC6206 is designed as a replacement cable for the original steering system as installed by the boat manufacturer and is intended for single-station use only. It is fitted with male-to-male custom rotary connectors and is compatible with a range of SeaStar rotary helms, including current No Feedback (NFB) helms and, with the SA27620P adapter, older Safe-T and Big-T style helms. The cable meets or exceeds ABYC, ISO, IMCI, and NMMA standards and is made, designed, and assembled in the USA.
